Materials

E hook ( whatever you need to keep the stuffing inside ;)

ww yarn in main color (mc) and contrasting color (cc)I used Red Heart Super Saver & With Love acrylic yarns

fiberfill

yarn needle to weave in ends

I don't add catnip to the stuffing, but my cats do enjoy catnip so I squish up some catnip and rub on the outside of their mice ;) you can add or not :)

Abbreviations

MR: magic ring

ch: chain

sl st: slip stitch

sc: single crochet

sc2tog: single crochet 2 together (decrease)

dc: double crochet

tr: treble crochet

FLO: front loop only (loop closest to you)

BLO: back loop only (loop furthest from you)

f.o.: finish off

Notes:

All terms American. If pattern reads, " 2sc, sc2, sc2tog" it is implied this is repeated unless noted otherwise and read as, " 2 single crochet in next stitch, single crochet in the next 2 stitches, single crochet 2 stitches together over the next two stitches" (creating a decrease). The mice are worked in the round without joining amigurumi style. Read pattern before beginning work. Be sure to mark your rounds; I use a scrap piece of yarn.
